This annoying buzzword-clotted piece hints at MadAve's new stratagem: To try to control the message under the rubric that the PEOPLE decide. In short, they're still the same old marionettists, only they've been humbled -- very slightly; and just because the strings are a little tangled now doesn't mean the puppet masters can't untangle them and make us their puppets again. Indeed high-tech's vaunted advances make it easier because they allow these Reverse Robin Hoods to be invisible. Unfortunately decades of exposure to their vile odors have left us believing in conspiracies more than ever.
And where's all this really brilliant stuff on YouTube, Jeff Goodby? All I see are old TV clips and stupid pet tricks.
